ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The gateway control module in your vehicle is like a central computer that helps control various functions. In certain Audi models, it's located under the rear seat and could be damaged if liquid spills on it.
Risk if Unfixed
If liquid spills on the gateway control module, it could shut down, causing your engine to lose power. This sudden loss of power could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will install a protective cover over the gateway control module to prevent damage from spills — at no cost to you. The repair is free, and you should schedule it when you receive the recall notice.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The rearview camera in your vehicle helps you see what's behind you when you're in reverse. In some 2019-2026 models, the camera's image might not show up on your screen due to a software issue.

A rearview image that doesn't display reduces your view of what's behind your vehicle, making it more likely you might back into something or someone, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the software to fix the issue, and the repair is free. You should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
